Abstract

The basic concepts allowing to define the different states of a dynamical system are illustrated through the behaviour of the Rayleigh-Bénard convection in confined geometry. The interest of the Poincaré sections of the phase space is pointed out in parallel with that of the iterated maps. Finally one shows how the deterministic chaos can be understood, thanks to the concepts of strange attractor.
